What 4 Ranges Community Recreation Foundation Inc does
Mission
The mission of 4 Ranges Community Recreation Foundation Inc. (foundation) is to manage, maintain, and support publicly-accessible recreation facilities to expand and enhance recreational opportunities and enrich the quality of life and personal wellbeing for residents of the greater livingston montana community and surrounding areas. The foundation pursues this mission by seeking and securing funds to construct a multi-sport, publicly owned community recreation facility that will be open to individuals and city residents who will have free access to this facility. Following construction, the city of livingston will thereafter manage and maintain that facility pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement. This agreement was voted into place, including creation of a tax levy on city residents to fund such maintenance, in the spring of 2024.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program

Construction began in the fiscal year ended 6/30/25, and is on schedule to be completed in february 2027. In conjunction with the city, meetings and tours are now being held for residents to assess the community needs.pledges and funding have been received to cover 97% of the project budget as of may 2026, and those efforts continue.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $503k to $5.3M (+947%).
